The Building Capacity: Leading Improvement publication brings together 23 case studies from controlled schools who participated on CSSC's Building Capacity programme.
The publication is organised around five themes.
- Under Great Teaching First, leaders including David Corbett of Gilnahirk Primary strengthened reading fluency and writing across their schools.
- Every Learner Included, Nuala McGranaghan of Cedar Lodge School developed communication and sensory support for pupils with complex needs.
- Melissa McCombe of Kilrea Primary led work on ethos and school climate.
- Ross Coulter of Ballycarrickmaddy Primary developed collaborative professional practice.
- Under Growing People. And in Spaces That Shape Learning, leaders transformed outdoor environments to enhance engagement and wellbeing.
The publication serves as a reference for current participants of Building Capacity programme and provides clarity for future cohorts, and acts as a stimulus for other schools, demonstrating what is possible through evidence-informed leadership.
